Has anyone heard about the air umbrella? From what I have learned so far this invention is just another unnecessary gadget that will produce more waste in spent batteries to operate it when we already have the good old fashioned umbrella to perform the same task. The idea is for the wand to blow the rain away from the user,but here is the rub...the battery life on the women's size (about 12 inches to fit into a handbag) is only 15 minutes. The full size comes in two models,one is telescopic (about 20 inches and extends to close to a yard) the standard model is 20 inches and doesn't extend,both of the full size types have a battery life of 30 minutes. They are rechargeable but we all know how long rechargeable lasts...and did I mention they will sell for around $200? I suppose when the battery goes dead for good you could console yourself at being left with a serviceable club weighing 1-2 lbs!
